How Do Broken Bones Happen in Nursing Homes?

Falls represent one of the most common causes of broken bones in nursing homes. This begs the question: Why are elderly nursing home residents in the position to fall and break bones to begin with?

When residents enter nursing homes, they bring with them long, assorted lists of medical histories and health ailments that potentially make them more vulnerable to falls and other injuries. A senior in a nursing home might have dementia, balance issues, memory loss, muscle atrophy, previous broken bones, joint conditions, or any number of physical and mental conditions that put them at risk.

Accordingly, nursing facilities and their employees need to have a thorough knowledge of each resident and their medical history so they are always aware of situations that might present harm to a particular resident.

Unfortunately, abuse and neglect are common in the nursing home industry. A common cause of neglect is simply not knowing enough about residents to keep them safe from injury.

If your loved one suffered broken bones in a nursing home, that in itself is not proof of neglect. However, it is an indication that the situation warrants an investigation. If your loved one is also suffering from another condition, such as bed sores, it could be a sign that something is wrong. Our legal team can investigate the case and fight for the rights of your loved one. We identify all potentially responsible parties and gather evidence to show what happened and who is liable. Then, we file an insurance claim or lawsuit and fight for the full damages you and your loved one deserve.

How to Prove a Nursing Home Is Liable for Damages

Your loved one deserves compensation for their broken bones and any other injuries resulting from inadequate nursing home care. By taking legal action against the nursing home, you can protect your family member’s rights and put a stop to any abuse or neglect that is occurring.

When we take your case, we get to work immediately. We conduct a full investigation into your loved one’s injuries, determine who was responsible, and gather evidence to pursue full compensation.

Punitive damages, if the evidence shows that the facility was abusive or reckless in their treatment of your loved one; and

Once we understand the full value of your family member’s losses, we will approach the nursing home for compensation.
